STATE OF MINNESOTA,

state and in conformity to a custom
now well established in many of the
states of the Union, / do hereby des-
ignate and appoint Saturday. the both

commend to the people of the state its
general observance by the planting on
that day of trees, vines and shrubs
along the highways and on public and
private grounds. In this state espe-
clally, with its large areas of pralries,
the custom may be rendered of great
advantage. Farms and other grounds
may thus be not only beautiiied but
greatly enhanced in value, and high
ways. now cherries and forbdding,
be made attractive and inviting. The
practical results Of faithful observ-
ance OF this custom must manifest
themselves in Il few years in IN in
creased supply of timber In the state.
and as II natural consequence an in
creased rainfall, besides enhancing
materially the value of lands. Moth
ing so beauties the exterior of homes
ana school buildings and renders them
so attractive rs shade trees. shrubs
and clustering vines about them. |
therefore earnestly commend to the
people of the state general observ-
ance of the day in the manner sug-
gested. A. r. MCGILL.

The sun. [volume] (Morris, Stevens County, Minn.) 1882-1895, 1887-04-21

The attention of citizens is called
to the new law for the collection of
vital statistics. It is revision of the
old law, and makes it incumbent on
the clerks of townships and health
officers of villages and cities to report
on or before the 5th day Of each
month to the secretary of the State
Board of health all births and deaths
occurring in their respective districts
during the calendar month immedi-
ately preceding, under a penalty of
$50 forfeiture for non compliance with
the law. To enable the proper off,
GERS to make their reports it is pro.
vided that, within ten days after
a birth or death, notice shall be
given to such officers by parents Of
the births or deaths of their children;
by every householder OF births and
deaths in his house; by the oldest per-
son, next of kin, of the death OF his
kindred. A forfeiture of sum not
to exceed $40 is the penalty provided
for failure to give notices required,
as above stated.
AS the clerk or health officer has no
alternative than to enforce the penal.
ties of the law, if any one compel him
to. it is best in every case to give
these notices at once, and not wait till
later.
